Answer / amarnadh reddy
When a table of variable size is required, the occurs
depending clause may be used.
01 A1 PIC 99.
01 REC-1.
05 P1 PIC XX.
05 P2 PIC 99 OCCURS 1 TO 90 TIMES DEPENDING ON A1.
Here depending on the value of the data name A1 the size of
P2 Will be decided. It can be anything between 1 and 90.
